Provisioning a TP-Link Portable Router for
XM360 X-Tractor
The following instructions step a user through the configuration of a TP-Link Portable Wireless Router (model TL-
MR3040) to be used with XM360 X-Tractor. These instructions make no assumptions pertaining to the current
state of the TP-Link, so they will be valid for a new or previously provisioned TP-Link.
This guide will start with general instructions on how to
identify and reset the TP-Link, and then will branch
depending on which type of device the user has available
with which to provision the TP-Link (*Windows
laptop/desktop with ethernet cable, Windows
laptop/desktop over Wi-Fi, Android or iOS device over Wi-
Fi). *preferred method
Section 1: Resetting the TP-Link to Default State
1.
Power on the TP-Link by toggling the Power Switch (as seen
in Figure 2), and confirm that power indicator light on front
panel illuminates green
If light does not turn or or is red, plug in TP-Link with
provided power cable before continuing
2.
With a paperclip or narrow object, press and hold the reset
button for at least 10 seconds (as seen in Figure 2)
At the 10 second mark, front indicator lights will all flash
once
3.
On the back panel, identify if your particular TP-Link has the
mode switch (Version 2) or does not have a mode switch
(Version 1) (as seen in Figure 3)
If Version 2, move Mode Switch to “WISP”
4.
Remove battery cover by prying off the cover from the
corner indicated by an arrow next to the ethernet port
(circled in red in both Figure 2 and Figure 3)
Make note of the Default Settings sticker found
underneath the cover, above the battery
5.
Depending on device/connection type, continue on to
step 2 (Windows w/ ethernet), step 3 (Windows w/ Wi-
Fi), or step 4 (Android or iOS w/ Wi-Fi)
